I'm not an expert by any stretch of the imagination, but are have you got your printers setup under cups or as lpr? cups is da business according to my more knowledgeable friends, but if i add new printers to cups, i have to restart cups then samba to get the winslows machines to see the new printers...

During the initial installation and configuration of these machines, everything is fine. But any printer added to the network AFTER the initial config of the winXP & win2000 pc's, isn't available to these machines. So... if I add any printers to my network, I can't use them with my winXP or win2000 pc's. If I try to connect to one of the new printers, I get: "Windows cannot connect to the printer. Either the printer name was typed incorrectly, or the specified printer has lost its connection to the server." I even removed a printer from my network, and removed its printer name from the "printcap" file. This printer STILL shows up in WinXP & 2000 machines. I've even restarted samba just for the sheer fun of it. Is there some sort of "Cache" or something that stores this information on WinXP or 2000 machines? Does anyone have any ideas? It sure would be "Handy" to be able to add printer to my network... Thanks!
